India, right!

unity in diversity.... an anthem in India...a catch phrase to represent India shining to the world....Who are we kidding??
The smallest sparks of anger can get blown out of proportion and in a nation filled with culturally different, spiritually different and ethnically diverse people, the smallest flames can be catalyst to widespread rioting and communal violence.....
Is it actually the case that causes such primitive behavior in people???
Or is it just about the haves and the have not's in society???

The city I now live in, like any city in India have a minority few and a majority more...Isn't this always the same anywhere....Some where down the line some group's sentiments are bound to get hurt....can't we just be a more tolerant race in this short span....
Drivers on the road, the shopkeeper having a bad day, the bank teller, the shopper, the brother, you and me..... Be tolerant......

As children many of us taught about competition, struggle, victory, respect, honor and love. All of which i believe are incomplete without tolerance. As a race, are we doomed from the day we are born? Cynical as i may sound, i fear that the most.
